    I love the honesty. I spent time around a lot of NBA players and most of them give cookie cutter interviews. This kid is different. So happy he's on our team.

    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA - Only three rookies in NBA history have recorded at least 1,500 points and 500 assists: Damian Lillard, Allen Iverson and Oscar Robertson.

    Neil Olshey told Lillard yesterday that he had won, also told him not to tell anybody. ...He went to the kitchen to tell his mom

    Listening live, this kid is amazing. We are so lucky to have him and not just for his play. So many good quotes, just incredible.

    The media should appreciate, I hope, how amazing he is. I cannot tell you how horrible most players are at giving interviews.

    I really liked what he had to say, but he probably should have mentioned his coaches and teammates at some point. I was waiting for one of the reporters to lay him that softball and ask him how much his teammates, coaches, and the fans meant to him this year.
